Appendix D (pp. 441-445) to Mary Putnam Jacobi's chapter VII is a "List of Medical Essays and Communications Written by Women Physicians between 1872 and 1890." "Her early pieces, particularly the novel Helen Brent, M.D. (1892) and her editorship of a volume of essays, Woman's Work in America (1891) [offered here], placed Meyer in the feminist camp. . . . The essays in Woman's Work in America, introduced by feminist Julia Ward Howe, and written by noted suffragists, educators, and professionals, praised women's achievements in education, law, medicine, journalism, and politics. In the preface, Meyer stated that she had been asked to include a chapter on 'Woman in Marriage,' as representative of women's work. 'My answer was that so far as I knew women had never been denied that privilege, and so it could have no legitimate place in my book' " (Lynn D. Gordon, "Annie Nathan Meyer and Barnard College: Mission and Identity in Women's Higher Education, 1889-1950", History of Education Quarterly, Vol. 26, No. 4, Winter, 1986, pp. 510-511). Here is the complete passage on pp. iii-iv: "On mentioning this book to a well-known editor and poet (a man), I was gravely asked why I had omitted a chapter on 'Woman in Marriage,' as it would make a very readable and certainly a very prolific subject. My answer was that so far as I knew women had never been denied that privilege, and so it could have no legitimate place in my book. In that reply, although uttered lightly, lies the principle upon which 1 have worked; the fields of labor described here contain evidences of woman's progress; they are those in which women, if entrance were not absolutely denied them, were at least not welcomed, nor valued. Furthermore, they are phases of woman's work that have some direct bearing on the status of woman in this country.".…
